All I wanted was to be free of him. Now I'm sentenced to four more years and God only knows what beyond that.
I get this. If he'd lost, that would have actually been it. Not for everything, but for his particular threat... he could not have run again.
I've been feeling a lot of heaviness at the idea of doing this all over again.
I'm disappointed in the people of our country. And I'm deeply frustrated that apparently actions have zero consequences anymore. Do anything you want to do, it's fine. No one is held accountable.
I know misinformation plays a role here but some people are absolutely voting for him just not that bothered that he's been convicted of fraud and found responsible for sexual assault.
I don't enjoy other people's suffering but, ya know, at this point maybe people need to hurt some to make them wake up. Millions will lose health care if he repeals the ACA as he's said (and likely has the votes now to do it). But, hey, you wanted him so you got him! Enjoy having no insurance, enjoy losing protection for preexisting conditions. RFK Jr. in charge of healthcare and banning vaccines? Here's to the return of polio, I guess. Tariffs on imported goods? There's you some inflation, babes. Project 2025? Sure, why the hell not. Nothing matters anyhow.
I really feel this. It was my brother's bleak comment this morning. "Well. Maybe after four more years of this people will be ready to change."
But Jesus. I've literally spent most of my life being told that the place next door might turn into Gilead. I think the book was too optimistic about how Canada would handle that.
